New Dubuque County Library Director Begins In October

The Dubuque County Library has a new director beginning in October. Amanda Vazquez will take over as director of the Dubuque County Library District after Michael Wright retires October 7th. Vazquez has served as the district’s assistant director since June 2019. The district has branches in Asbury, Epworth, Farley, Holy Cross and Peosta. Before stepping into her new role, Vazquez said she was lucky to have been part of creating the district’s strategic plan for 2022 to 2027. That plan includes working on new marketing for the district and ensuring strong participation in the communities it serves. Vazquez previously served as the director at Orange City Public Library, in addition to several other roles.
